Wow, I understand. That’s a bold resolution and probably a tough one to stick to, if (like me) you’re prone to feeling anxious about money even in the best of times. The best things about being self-employed, in my opinion, are having control over your own schedule and the freedom to do diverse projects that are interesting and rewarding. But the unpredictability of paying work sure can be a big downside. I hope you find a steady client/project or to take some of the pressure off, and enable you to start building up that rainy day fund. Good luck!
